Graduate Certificate in Engineering Systems
Duration (International)
1 year
Assessment (Internat.)
Assignments, laboratories, examinations and thesis.
Outline
This is a vocationally orientated course that provides students with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to obtain employment as an engineer. The Graduate Certificate of Engineering Systems course provides a four unit, one-semester bridging program, ahead of the same sequence of units as the Master of Engineering Technology. The Graduate Certificate of Engineering Systems course also serves as a preparation for further graduate studies in technology, business administration and other areas. Specifically the course provides students with advanced studies in a branch of engineering, either civil engineering, mechanical engineering or mining engineering.
Career Opportunities
A Civil Engineering graduate will have developed technical skills together with a knowledge and appreciation of the environment, sustainable development, social and political aspects that impact upon the work of the civil engineer. Graduates may be employed with private consultants, contracting companies, mining and processing industries or with Federal, State and Local Government organisations. There are significant opportunities for employment both in Australia and in South-East Asia and throughout the rest of the world.
A degree in Mechanical Engineering enables a graduate to gain employment in a range of industries including manufacturing and processing industries, which are aiming to lead the way in new developments in automated machinery.
Mining Engineers are in high demand in Australia and the Asia Pacific Region. The broad education offered at the School of Science and Engineering enables students to find employment in a wide range of resource related industries, including consulting. Mining Engineers work in all parts of the industry from feasibility studies through to mine design, to managing actual production and sales.
RPL and Credit Transfer
International students wishing to apply for RPL and Credit Transfer are required to provide syllabus of previous study undertaken at time of applying for course. Not all courses offer RPL and Credit Transfer. Contact the International Student Programs office at international@ballarat.edu.au
